How To Run Stress-Free Events
Hi there, Some time ago I attended three major events, two were
well-run, the third was a shambles. All three had a number of
speakers and more than 200 hundred people present.
The Disorganised Event This is what happened at one of those
events:
On arrival, there were two people at the front desk who
completely ignored me, so I walked straight in and organised my
own stand. (This was a combination expo/seminar event). There
were no name tags for stallholders or attendees. Refreshments
were non-existant. Even water was unavailable. Instead of
briefly wrapping up at the end of each presentation, the Master
of Ceremonies wasted at least another 10-15 minutes rambling on.
A sponsor who wasn't scheduled to speak was 'squeezed' into the
programme for a SHORT 10 minute promotion. He prattled on for 40
minutes boring everyone. No one, including the organiser or the
MC stopped him. At one point, the audience had been sitting for
two hours with no break. The last speaker who was scheduled to
speak at 3.30 p.m. presented at 5.00 p.m... that's how poorly
organised the event was. By this time many people had left
(including me). The sad part about the lack of organisation is
that some of the presenters were great and so were many of the
people who attended. The event management by the organiser would
have tainted their reputation and reflected extremely badly on
the company they represented.
Unfortunately, many of the attendees will remember more of the
negative aspects, rather than the positive ones.
The Ingredients of Successful Events
With the end of another year in site, many of you will be in the
process of planning events for your
clients and your people in
the new year, so I've put together a special event management
tip sheet to help you save time, money and stress when preparing
for your next event. Click here to receive "How To Run
Stress-Free Events".
Speaking of running events in 2006, I'm presenting a terrific
seminar to kickstart the new year together with Shelley-Taylor
Smith, 7 time World Champion Marathon Swimmer and Motivation
Expert. This one of a kind event will be held in both Melbourne
and Sydney. If you seriously want to "Skyrocket to Success in
2006" then click here to book today as numbers will be limited
and we've already had bookings pouring in.
The Final Word
Organising and attending events where you'll meet new people and
expand your mind is crucial to stay ahead in both your personal
and business life. The world is constantly changing and you need
to change with it. Fresh input gives you a different
perspective. It's very easy to stay in your comfort zone.
However when you expand your mind, you learn more and can earn
more. When you apply what you learn, you'll enrich your own life
and can help others to do the same.
Have a great week! Lorraine Pirihi
